Amazing!!

How stupid and dangerous to other drives some people can be! Angry

Was she drunk? Huh

It is so difficult to drive on the wrong side of a dual carriageway with all road markings, and the shape of the entry into the slip road, going against you when joining one Roll Eyes

But I have personally seen too many idiots (usually very elderly) doing it! Angry

I've had a roadhawk fitted for nearly 2 years now. Runs all the time and I, generally, forget about it... until needed as "evidence" on 2 occasions now it has been useful.

It proved I was stationary when the idiot reversed into the side of me.. even though he was not visible, the impact, both vibration and noise, were recorded and the visuals showed me not moving. result .. the insurers coughed up in full.... even though it took nearly a year... Sad

Second time was when I was traveling behind other cars and a prat decided to change lanes without warning (or looking) and took out the car 3 in front of me. No-one injured but the road blocked by wreckage. When PC Plod turned up I was able to playback the incident on the laptop - fortunately I had it with me - suddenly all attitudes as to who was at fault changed .. ...

I was asked to forward a copy of the clip, which I did, but never heard anything ... I'm guessing the prat copped a plea.

Expensive .. but IMHO worth it.

Yes Mr Steve. The smaller female brain and the lack of spatial awareness is always going to put the girlies at a disadvantage. Not to mention the emotional problems that come with being a woman. How many crazed bints are driving around whilst suffering from PMT/PMS?. Frightening!!!... Undecided

Taking your life in your hands just driving anywhere near a beauty parlour these days. Sad

She has one of those coupes with doors like sails and it's very windy at the moment. Also, the handle is very close to the hinge and she hasn't got the strength to close it, never mind hang on to it in a force 9.
